The Martian Chronicles

The Martian Chronicles is a classic work of twentieth-century literature whose extraordinary power and imagination remain undimmed by time's passage. In connected, chronological stories, Bradbury enthralls, delights and challenges readers with his vision and his heart, taking them to a strange, breathtaking world where humanity does not belong.

Before the advent of space flight, Ray Bradbury had humankind cultivating planets. Leaving behind a world on the brink of destruction, man came to the Red planet and found the Martians waiting, dreamlike. Seeking the promise of a new beginning, man brought with him his oldest fears and his deepest desires. Man conquered Mars, and in that instant, Mars conquered him. The strange new world with its ancient, dying race and vast, red-gold deserts cast a spell on him, settled into his dreams, and changed him forever.

Here are the captivating chronicles of man and Mars, the modern classic by the peerless Ray Bradbury.
